Not a fan then I remember one time at BV (I think, must have been a BLRC) when he tried to give Sam Ermolenko the nickname "Emperor Sam"!!!! This was after about 10 years of him ALWAYS being referred to as "Sudden Sam"... still makes me laugh Edited April 29, 2020 by iainb 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
